Humidity impact on Temperature?

[cmate]

I know temperature has an impact on humidity, but can humidity have an impact on temperature?

I ask, because I am trying to figure out why today when the lights went on my temps are naturally hanging around 73-76 f, when I have had to use a heater for the last 2 weeks to keep it between 70-72. The ambient temperature is around 37-40f today, and it has run from 32-50f the last couple weeks.

I think when it hit 50f range, it was running warm, but at 39f, it historically has required additional heat.

The only thing different is the humidifier must have run out of water last night, so the humidity is down at 27 or so, where it normally stays between 40-50 or so.

So could a low humidity cause a temperature RISE?

Yeah my normal "night" temp was 69 with a humidity of 15%, I had to add a humidifier, humidity went up to 40% and temps hange out at 74 now. So it definately plays a role but I think maybe opposite what your thinking? I dunno, I just know thats what happened to me

NO NO wait your right, sorry haven't had my coffee. I had a high humidity issue at night and when I brought the humidity down the temp rose 5 degree's, sorry yes I believe your right, low humidity = higher temp

low humidity=higher temp.....and vice versa. you are right

humidity has no bearing on temperature..

(The Friends of Science Society) also, NASA did research on this

probably find it on Google

Water evaporation and convection drive the Earths' weather systems and help regulate temperatures

that is a far cry from humidity controlling temperatures in a grow room...
